'60 Minutes' Is Getting Shredded For Its 'Embarrassing' Report On The NSA

"60 Minutes" is getting slammed for a controversial, one-sided
report on the National Security Agency and leaker Edward Snowden
on Sunday night.

The two-part segment was reported by investigative reporter John
Miller, and the problems with the piece started when he said this
at the beginning of the segment: "Full disclosure: I once
worked in the office of the Director of National Intelligence,
where I saw firsthand how secretly the NSA operates."

Miller has a long history as a reporter, including stints from
1973-94, 1995-2002, and in his current role at CBS since 2011.
But he also has worked as the chief spokesman for the New York
City Police Department — a role he is set to reprise under
incoming Commissioner Bill Bratton, according to the New York Post. As he
disclosed, Miller also worked as a former DNI and FBI
spokesman.

But what drew more criticism was the fact that in the lengthy
piece, no on-camera interviews took place with NSA dissenters or
skeptics.
